Dubai to Norway Removals
Moving to Norway from Dubai — International Removals, Toll 03-1 Customs & Door-to-Door Delivery
Fusion Relocations has been managing Dubai to Norway moves since 2010. We handle everything — from UAE export at Jebel Ali Port to Norwegian Customs (Tolletaten) clearance using the Toll 03-1 moving goods declaration, and door-to-door delivery to Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, or anywhere in Norway. FIDI FAIM-accredited, ISO 9001-certified, with professional delivery partners across all Norwegian regions.
What Moving from Dubai to Norway Involves
Norway is one of the most sought-after destinations for UAE-based professionals relocating within the oil & gas, maritime, or technology sectors. The Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim corridors attract senior executives and specialists moving for Norwegian employers — as well as returning Norwegian nationals who have spent years working in the Gulf.
Norway is not an EU member state. This is one of the most important distinctions for a Dubai to Norway move: Norway is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) but operates its own customs regime under the Norwegian Customs Authority (Tolletaten). Household goods enter Norway under Toll 03-1 — the Norwegian moving goods declaration — rather than under EU Regulation 1186/2009. The exemption from Norwegian VAT (25%) and customs duty on used personal effects is available but must be applied for correctly through the Norwegian process.
Stavanger — Norway’s oil capital — is one of our most active Norwegian delivery points, with a large expatriate community from the UAE and Gulf region. Oslo’s distinctive combination of urban apartments and suburban villas, Bergen’s narrow fjordside access, and the extreme conditions of northern Norway all require route-specific delivery planning that Fusion’s Norwegian partner teams are experienced in managing.

Toll 03-1 — Norwegian Customs Form

Shipping Options — Dubai to Norway
Choose the Right Shipping Method for Your Move
Oslo’s Drammen port handles the majority of Norwegian container imports; Bergen is the primary gateway for western Norway. Both ports operate efficiently, with customs clearance typically 2–4 working days when documentation is correctly prepared.
Norwegian Customs — Tolletaten & Toll 03-1
Importing Household Goods to Norway — Non-EU Customs with 25% VAT Exemption for Qualifying Residents
Norway is not an EU member state. All household goods entering from the UAE clear through Tolletaten (Norwegian Customs) using the Norwegian-specific Toll 03-1 moving goods declaration — not the EU Regulation 1186/2009 process used by Germany, France, the Netherlands, or Belgium. Norwegian VAT at 25% is among Europe’s highest, making the correct application of the Toll 03-1 exemption particularly important.
Toll 03-1 — The Norwegian Moving Goods Declaration
Norway administers its own customs regime through Tolletaten (Norwegian Customs). Unlike EU member states, Norway does not apply EU Regulation 1186/2009. Instead, household goods are imported under form Toll 03-1 — the Norwegian Declaration for Moving Goods — which applies for exemption from Norwegian customs duty and VAT (25%) on qualifying used personal effects and household goods.
Eligibility Requirements
- You must be transferring your normal residence to Norway (from outside the EEA)
- You must have lived outside Norway for at least 12 consecutive months
- Goods must have been owned and used by you personally for at least 6 months before import
- Goods must not be sold, lent, or hired out for 12 months after import
- The declaration must be submitted to Tolletaten at or before the time of importation
Required Documentation
- Toll 03-1 form — completed and signed (Norwegian Customs moving goods declaration)
- Complete itemised inventory in Norwegian or English
- Proof of former residence outside Norway/EEA for 12+ months — UAE residence visa, employer letter, passport stamps
- Proof of new Norwegian address — lease (leiekontrakt) or purchase agreement (kjøpekontrakt)
- Norwegian national ID number (fødselsnummer) or D-number (for foreign nationals) — required for customs processing
- Passport copy
- Bill of Lading
Fusion prepares the Toll 03-1 declaration and itemised inventory as standard on every Dubai to Norway move.
Folkeregisteret — Norwegian Population Register
All new residents in Norway must register with the Folkeregisteret (Norwegian National Population Register) administered by Skatteetaten (the Norwegian Tax Administration). Registration provides your Norwegian national identity number (fødselsnummer) — required for opening a Norwegian bank account, registering with a GP (fastlege), obtaining a Norwegian driving licence, and accessing public services. Your D-number (a temporary identification for foreign nationals) is issued first, with fødselsnummer following. Fusion briefs every client on the registration sequence before they leave Dubai.
Vehicles to Norway
Norway has one of the highest vehicle import duty regimes in Europe for conventional petrol and diesel vehicles — however, electric vehicles (EVs) currently benefit from significant import duty reductions and favourable VAT treatment. If you own a UAE-specification EV, importing it to Norway may be financially viable. Conventional ICE vehicles face substantial one-time registration tax (engangsavgift) based on CO2 emissions, weight, and NOx output. Fusion advises at survey stage — see our Automobile Relocation page.
Pets to Norway
Norway is part of the EEA but not the EU. Dogs and cats entering from the UAE must comply with Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) requirements: ISO microchip, valid rabies vaccination, a blood titre test at an approved laboratory, and a health certificate. The titre test must be performed at least 30 days after vaccination and results must meet EU standards even though Norway is not an EU member. Fusion advises at survey stage — see our Pet Relocation page.
How a Dubai to Norway Move Works
Your Move, Step by Step
Every Dubai to Norway move is managed end-to-end under a single contract — one coordinator, from your Dubai doorstep to your Norway address.
01 Free Pre-Move Survey
A Fusion surveyor visits your Dubai home or conducts a video survey to assess your volume, identify restricted items, and advise on the best shipping method. For Stavanger oil sector moves, any specific employer relocation policy requirements are discussed at this stage. We also confirm your planned Norwegian arrival date and address for Toll 03-1 documentation.
02 Toll 03-1 Documentation Prepared
Fusion prepares the Norwegian Customs Toll 03-1 moving goods declaration and the itemised inventory. Your UAE residence documentation, employer letter, and new Norwegian address details are assembled into the evidence file. We advise on your D-number / fødselsnummer status, as this is required for Norwegian Customs processing.
03 Professional Packing
Our FIDI-trained crew pack your household using FIDI-standard materials. Every item is logged with description and estimated value for the Norwegian Customs inventory.
04 UAE Export Clearance
UAE export declaration, packing list, commercial invoice, and Bill of Lading are managed. Your container is sealed and transported to Jebel Ali Port, naming Oslo (Drammen) or Bergen as the Norwegian arrival port based on your delivery destination.
05 Ocean Freight to Oslo or Bergen
Your container departs Jebel Ali on the selected sailing. Oslo (Drammen port) handles the majority of Norwegian container traffic; Bergen is the most efficient entry point for western Norway destinations including Stavanger. Transit is 18–22 days.
06 Norwegian Customs Clearance (Tolletaten)
Our Norwegian partner agent submits the Toll 03-1 declaration to Tolletaten. Clearance typically takes 2–4 working days with correctly prepared documentation. Any Tolletaten queries are managed by our agent on your behalf.
07 Road Freight to Your Norwegian Destination
From Oslo or Bergen, your goods are transported by road. Oslo city deliveries are same day or next day. Stavanger is approximately 3–4 hours from Bergen. Trondheim is approximately 7 hours from Oslo. Northern Norway (Tromsø and above) requires additional transit time and we plan this at survey stage.
08 Door-to-Door Delivery
Delivered by our Norwegian partner team. Unpacking, furniture placement, and debris removal on request. Storage through our Norwegian partner network is available if your property is not immediately ready.

Why Choose Fusion for Dubai to Norway
Toll 03-1. Stavanger Expertise. EV Import Honesty.
Norway’s non-EU customs regime, the Stavanger oil sector logistics, the EV import calculation, the Folkeregisteret D-number sequence — every element that distinguishes a Dubai to Norway move from a standard European move, Fusion manages as standard.
Stavanger & Oil Sector Experience
Norway’s oil capital has a large UAE and Gulf expatriate community. Fusion has direct experience managing moves for oil & gas professionals between Dubai and the Stavanger energy corridor — including employer-managed relocation packages.
Toll 03-1 — Norwegian Non-EU Customs
Norway is not in the EU. Fusion prepares the correct Norwegian Toll 03-1 declaration — not an EU customs form. Many generalist movers misapply EU documentation to Norwegian moves, causing customs delays and potential duty assessments.
EV Import Advantage — Honest Advice
Norway’s EV import duty concessions are among the most generous in the world. If you own a UAE-specification electric vehicle, Fusion advises at survey stage whether importing it to Norway is financially viable — in contrast to ICE vehicles where engangsavgift can be prohibitive.
Folkeregisteret & D-number Briefing
Your Norwegian D-number (temporary ID for foreign nationals) is needed for customs processing before your permanent fødselsnummer is issued. Fusion briefs every client on the D-number and Folkeregisteret registration sequence before they leave Dubai.
Northern Norway & Arctic Delivery
Tromsø and provinces above the Arctic Circle require specific logistics planning for winter deliveries. Fusion’s Norwegian partner network covers the full country, including northern Norway’s extreme seasonal conditions.

★★★★★
“We relocated from Dubai to Stavanger for an oil & gas role. Fusion knew the Stavanger expat corridor well — they had handled similar moves before and the Toll 03-1 documentation was prepared correctly first time. Our household arrived in 22 days and customs cleared in two working days.”
Lars & Ingrid K.
Dubai to Stavanger, 2024
★★★★★
“Moving from Abu Dhabi to Oslo with a family of four. Fusion advised us correctly that Norway is not in the EU and uses a different customs form — our previous mover had quoted us using EU documentation which would have caused serious delays. Fusion’s Toll 03-1 approach was exactly right.”
The Andersen Family
Abu Dhabi to Oslo, 2023
★★★★★
“I asked Fusion whether it was worth shipping my Tesla from Dubai to Norway given the EV import concessions. They ran the numbers honestly, confirmed it made financial sense, and managed the complete vehicle import alongside my household goods. First class service.”
